Measor

A very simple system for monitoring web applications, using raw python code with splinter in its tasks. It does not even use the database. All tasks are run inside of docker container, for better system safety.

Inside of docker container we have splinter and headless chrome browser, so you can wrote something like this:

from splinter import Browser

with Browser('chrome') as browser:
    # Visit URL
    url = "http://www.google.com"
    browser.visit(url)
    browser.fill('q', 'splinter - python acceptance testing for web applications')
    # Find and click the 'search' button
    button = browser.find_by_css('.lsb')
    # Interact with elements
    button.click()
    if browser.is_text_present('splinter.readthedocs.io'):
        print("Yes, the official website was found!")
    else:
        print("No, it wasn't found... We need to improve our SEO techniques")

And it will run correctly.

If you like to change docker image for your needs, maybe you should checkout branch docker-image.

After creating your own image you should set its name in settings.py (or local_settings.py).

DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME = 'milashensky/measor_tasks_runner'

Main interface

You can put print("something") function in your task code to indicate it's execution. Task will be marked as success if it's execution ended without unhandled exceptions. So you can use assert or raise.

How to start

• Install docker. You can find the install information by clicking on this link.
• Clone repository
• Install requirements and clone docker image of runner: make
• Create user: ./manage.py create_user
• Start: ./manage.py runserver
• Create first task and enjoy!

The container will continue to execute tasks after the web panel has stopped working, so if you need to stop it run make kill_docker

API

You can get tasks info JSON from Measor to your application using uri:

/api/stats/

timestamp (to make sure everything works) and summary info about all tasks.

/api/task/?last_statuses=n

detailed tasks info and n of last statuses in format {timestamp: status}
